Description:   Opened: 2005-12-31 17:23 0000
[A bug was discovered on a Debian bugs site that indicated this problem was due
to an incompatibility: "gri-el: incompatible with new version of gv"]

when using gri-mode in emacs to compile a gri source file, gv refuses to
display the generated postscript file with the message:

         gri-view: /usr/bin/gv: invalid option: -- l

I have studied gri-mode.el a little and tried other ps viewers.  The following
viewers work ok:

    ggv
    kghostview

and, after I edited gri-mode.el to use evince as well:

    evince.

However, none of these have been easy to configure to display a landscape
document out of the box.  I have tried a few things with gv, but none of them
have worked.  I can display the same ps file with gv outside of gri-mode.el,
from bash.

I started an updated ebuild for gri but ran into more problems than the one you
described.  Let you know how that goes...

sci@gentoo.org team -- Anyone mind if I update the gri port we have in portage
from 2.12.9 to 2.12.11?  The update includes a fix for the emacs/gv interaction
problem described in this bug.  I also need to correct the gri emacs support by
adding a gentoo site-lisp file containing convenient autoloads. 

I'd like to add emacs@gentoo.org to the metadata herds list too.

gri-2.12.11.ebuild resolves this bug.
